Login or register to see the price.
This Régnié is a convergence of all the Crus; the fruity nose of the Gamay, a good structure as the Morgon style, and the crispness of a wine like Chiroubles. Régnié "Croix Penet" is a bit special. First of all, it is the story of fifteen friends who are partners and/or owners of the vineyard, most of whom are major figures in Lyon's gastronomic life.

- Tasting note
